There has been an update and clean up of this hotel. We stayed here once 25 years ago just for the price. But I can say our family felt safe there was cameras and good lighting. The staff were super nice, helpful and friendly. We would stay here if we come back to the Valley!!

This is a great place if you are looking for a quick night stay. We have stayed here a couple times, as our daughter lives close by. The best part is they are pet friendly. Would love if they have amenities in the room like a coffee maker. And a lot of non-guest people walking through the parking lot.

Quick and easy check in and out, friendly staff, great stay for the price. Thin walls/windows/doors so if loud people are around you will hear it. Overall clean room, bathroom, bedding, and towels. Hot water takes a while but it works.
